The limited-edition style, called the Malangeli, is designed to look like a tendril of smoke is pluming out of the heel—an image that calls to mind Jolie's Maleficent character. Available to pre-order in black or red at five Christian Louboutin boutiques worldwide in New York, California, London, Hong Kong and Paris, the heels cost $1,495, with profits from sales benefiting SOS Children's Villages.
